The combination of sweet, salty, and nutty makes these cookies irresistible and perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth.
Pistachios are having a moment, and I’m here for it! The viral TikTok Dubai chocolate bar has me dreaming of pistachios all day, so I had to come up with yet another recipe that celebrated them.
These cookies turned out amazing! The moment you take your first bite of these salted pistachio chocolate chunk cookies, the crisp edges are perfectly crisp, and then you find the chewy center that’s simply irresistible.
You know how you can have either a cakey cookie or a cookie with crispy edges and a chewy center? I always pick a cookie with crispy edges and a slightly chewy center.
The buttery pistachios, dark chocolate, and flaky sea salt take these cookies to the next level—they’re what dreams are made of!
